FrameMaker

Hello guys, its me again.While trying to fix the startup problems, I encountered a completely new bug.My script runs perfectly when started in ExtendScript Toolkit. I am using infinite loops for socket operations, which can be broken under certain conditions (e.g. wrong request params etc.) I am receiving following error when my script is being started from FM:The line mentioned above always varies - I repeat: the script runs well when being started in ExtendScript Toolkit. I guess that the troublemaker are my infinite loops, but unfortunately I need them just the way they are.How can I tell FM to disable this timeout?Thanks thanks thanks.Selim

In der Testversion von FM2017 gibt es den nervigen Begrüßungsbildschirm mit Vorherige Elemente, Neues Dokument erstellen und herumzappelnden Lernressourcen. Dieses Herumgewedele auf dem Bildschirm irritiert mich ungemein - wie man an diesem Post merkt. Vor allem: ich kann dieses Zeugs (wie einen ständig kläffenden Hund) nicht abstellen. Jedenfalls finde ich über Bearbeiten > Voreinstellungen > Allgemein einfach nichts. Bitte: wie geht das weg!?Es klingt zwar lächerlich, aber da es ständig im Augenwinkel herumwackelt und ich nichts dagegen tun kann, macht mich das fix und fertig.

Just upgraded to 2017 and have not found a way to stop the--incredibly annoying--scrolling text on the opening screen. Does anyone know how that text can be stopped? Thank you!

I tried to learn more about text insets in FrameMaker. This is what happened:I've linked a simple module file TextInset.fm into a container file Test.fm.Then I selected and deleted the inset in the container file."Warning:" is an entry in the paragraph tag's Autonumbering. So far - so good.Now I tried to change the paragraph tag of the first line. But nothing happened. The line still keeps the Autonumbering and, of course, the whole tag:I deleted the Autonumbering Format on the Numbering sheet of the Paragraph Designer and deactivated Autonumber Paragraphs. But the f*** Autonumbering is still alive:Is it me who's wrong? Or is this another FM bug?Btw:This was just a very simple test. Anyone out there, who is seriously using text insets in FM, and is NOT thinking about suicide or killing FrameMaker?

I created a tagged PDF document from Framemaker, but the Adobe accessibility checker still says there are still issues with the document.  Part of the results are shown below, how do I fix these ?Page ContentRule NameStatusDescriptionTagged contentFailedAll page content is taggedTagged annotationsFailedAll annotations are taggedTab orderFailedTab order is consistent with structure order

I would like my HTML default landing page to be the first page of the first chapter - how can I change it. I looked at the options in the dropdown menu and it's just a list of certain types of files. Can I enter a specific page?

I have many "at Insertion Point" anchored frames in my documents, in a paragraph that is centered.In FM2015, these aligned to center on HTML5 output. However, now in FM2017, they are all aligning left.Is this a bug or am I missing something?ThanksCindy

Hello community, i have a problem with FM 2017.I want to export a FrameMaker document to HTML5. I am using images in anchored frames with annotations and symbols, like arrows. Both, the image and the annotations, are in an anchored frame.The HTML5 export downscales all my images with annotations and arrows, so they are not usable anymore. They are so pixilated, you can´t identify anything.When i am removing the annotations etc. the images look nice.Is there anyone who can help me?Thank you!

Having issues with svg files exported from illustrator.When I import the svg file into an anchor frame publish to html the svg graphics turn suddenly freakishly large or very small. In addition, when I add a hotspot to an anchor frame with svg content the hotspot won't work, which I had noted in a earlier thread.jpegs seems to work fine as does ai files, both in size and hotspot functionality.It's just the svgs.Are there any special considerations importing svgs from illustrator or for importing in framemaker?

I really like some of the updates for FrameMaker 2017. Overall, it's working better for me than 2015. However, I've had the following scenario happen twice now. I thought that it was just me at first, but I'm 98 percent certain that this is something else.I went to update a book file. When the book finished updating, it generated an error report that had a bunch of broken cross-references to a single chapter. When I looked at the book file, the normal FM document icon had turned gray and featured a question mark (as though the file had been deleted or had been moved). I opened the folder containing the chapters only to discover that my chapter had vanished. It's nowhere to be found.My IT department probably assumes that I'm deleting stuff on accident and blaming the software, but I was working on the file in question earlier today and did not delete anything from that folder.It's possible that the file vanished earlier and that I didn't realize it until the update, but it's also possib

I am currently working a manual in structured FM 15 and have a table style formatted through my template. Every table loses its last row separator upon save. I can manually go into the XML view and change the last row separator value to 1 from zero but upon save it goes back to zero. Any idea where this would be coming from? I converted my template into a mif file to see if there were any outliers in the table formats and I can't find anything. Attached is a screenshot of my structure view as well as where my table is losing its ruling.

Hello guys,I have a couple of questions for you. When I am running my script, the script is actually working correctly in the background, but the FrameMaker UI is freezing and not reacting until the script is being shut down. First question: How can this strange behavior be imrpoved?Second question: How can I tell FrameMaker that a certain script must always be started when FM is starting (Autorun)?Thanks a lot!Selim

Hi, I am using the TableTitleLOT paragraph tag to correctly align page numbers with leader dots for any tables titles that are longer than one line.  After finding helpful advice on the forum, I set the maximum word spacing to 325% and the minimum word spacing to 275% and the optimum spacing to 100%, and I added two tabs between <$paratext> and <$chapnum> to right align the page numbers on the second line.  I set the TableTitleLOT tag with right-aligned, square leader dots; however, the leader dots change from square to round when I add the second tab in the paragraph tag (in either reference or body pages).  I could live with round leader dots, except now the short title and the long title have different leader dots (see attached screenshot).  I really want the same style of dots for all table titles, long and short, so the LOT has a consistent look.Does anyone know why the dots change when an extra tab is added?  Thanks, Emma.

Hallo Community, ich habe ein Problem bei der Ausgabe in HTML5.Wenn ich im FrameMaker 2017 ein Bild einfüge und dann das "Dokument" als HTML5 ausgebe, klappt alles wunderbar. Sobald ich aber im Framemaker imverankerten Rahmen des Bildes etwas über das Bild lege, bspw. einen Pfeil oder eine Beschriftung, dann wird das Bild so stark runtergerechnet und komprimiert, dass es unleserlich, verschwommen und unbrauchbar ist. Nehme ich die Overlays wieder weg sieht es wieder gut aus.Weiß jemand woran das eventuell liegen könnte und wie ich da Abhilfe schaffen kann?Danke schonmal!

When I start a service manual for a new product, I would like to have dialog boxes open that asks for specific information to define the variables of the template. Is scripting what I am looking for and able to do this? I extremley little experience with Framemaker 2017. Thank you.

Driving me crazy.  How do I get a table to span both the text column and the side-head  in DITA documents????

I normally insert a paragraph break, (the table title paragraph tag is set as a run, left-justified) and then right-justify the variable by hand, so that the variable is on the same line as the title and ends at the right edge of the table header.. Is there any way to set this variable to right-justify automatically using Framemaker 2015? Thanks!

Hi,I am getting the following error when I try to link a ditamap from RoboHelp 2017:"Condition indicator for domain-ui-d is inconsistent".This error appears on the FM console. Not much help available on net. Anyone who knows what this error means?PS: I do have Adobe TCS and aware that linking ditamap works with TCS only.Thanks,Ranjini

I have FrameMaker 2017 installed on Windows 64-bit Virtual Box. Times New Roman is installed on the system, but is grayed out on the Character or Paragraph Designer. The default appears to be Times NewRoman Baltic. It doesn’t happen on another system with similar characteristics. Suggestions on how to restore TNR. Times NewRoman appears in other applications.

I have a new subscription to Framemaker 2017. The software installed just fine. I didn't register the first time the software started. The online help says I can by using the Registration option in the Help menu. When I opened the software again to register it, the Registration option was not in the Help menu. How do I register a subscription purchase for FrameMaker 2017?Thanks

I defined our corporate-approved colors in a library using Adobe Illustrator. Is there a way to use this library of colors in FrameMaker? I haven't had any luck bringing it in or in finding anything that says I can. I'm hoping that there's a hidden feature that I just haven't found yet in FM2017. I'm using Adobe Illustrator CC, if that makes a difference. Thanks!

This table is one of four in the document, and is the only one to experience this problem. Any help?SOLVEDI deleted the title (which seems to have clear the continuation), then reentered it, then selected Continuation. It works fine now.Message was edited by: Leon Descoteaux

The first document in our book file is a title page.  We use the paragraph tag Title in that document only.  Is there a way to create a variable in the remaining documents that reference that paragraph tag that is only used in that first document?

What is the hidden secret here?The script is copied from a desktop-subdirectory into FrameMaker Startup by mans of an installation program.The script is manually copied (using File explorer) from the desktop-subdirectory into FrameMaker Startup.Starting FM after case 1 executes the script twice !Starting FM after case 2 executes (as expected) the script once.I have cut down my script to something manageable and did the tests with this stub.// FMdict_test.jsx ------ UTF-8 ------------------------------------------------------------------------#target framemakerShowDictInfo ()                                   // At start of FM inform about the User dictionarySetUpMenus()    // inactivate for debugging       // Establish menu item to get the information also later.function Set
